SPORT, IN THE NAME OF WHICH IS NOT afraid of dying (continued, part 3) A good reason to commit suicide that evening students are comfortably inside the hangar, which also served as a classroom death camp, lying on the couch and their sleeping bags. Everyone watched the video, filmed a few years ago, their teachers who are behind more than three hundred jumps, how he jumped from the bridge itself, which students had to conquer, and which was not far from the place of employment, which some 16 kilometers to the north. Visuals talked about how Tom, naked to the waist and the wet, doing a few jumps in a row, dropping by parachute to the surface. Having barely on the shore, he again climbed onto the bridge to jump again. Then Aiello made a double jump with Dwayne Weston, the best BASE jumper at the time. They climbed on the railings of the bridge, jump, and Weston began to perform some acrobatic movements, while Aiello, upright in a stable position and just watch. The most exciting in this episode was when Aiello almost forgot to open the parachute, fascinated by observing partner. During one of these guys jumping happened to him a very significant nuisance. Total flight time from the bridge to the water surface was about 5 seconds. It was only at around the time of 4,8 seconds Tom was throwing a pilot dome, a piece of cloth is less than one meter in diameter, whose purpose is to get the main canopy. Aiello hit the water surface at a speed exceeding 120 kilometers per hour, while his main parachute at this point has only just begun to unfold. As a result he injured his spine and got the breaks of the rectum. After the incident, Aiello had to lie motionless for more than three weeks, after which he remained for several months in the hospital, wearing a colostomy bag on his stomach. "Feelings, I tell you, quite unpleasant" - he said the audience. However, a few months after discharge from hospital, Tom began to jump again. "If the incident stopped me, it would be an indication that I can not imagine how dangerous thing I do. But I was ready to injury and therefore continue to jump. " Novice diver, J. C Brown said the sport helps him feel alive Generally speaking, in order to start off jumps, with Aiello had his own reasons. That divides the jumpers into three categories: BASE tourists who are looking for interesting places to jump and crave excitement, the young thugs who would like to be "bad boys", imagine yourself cool, "the black bomber", those due to mental changes, they want to face death, and they do not need a victory over death. Sam Aiello is definitely in the latter category: "Everything I did and do, occur as a result of my personal emotional frustration and overload. I'm not trying to seem "cool", I do not care about what people think. " Aiello grew up in Atascadero, a small mining town in Central California. He was the informal leader in its class. His esteemed professors and other students, besides Tom selected team captain swimmers, and deservedly so, because he has broken almost all records of the school in swimming. He never smoked and had no cravings for alcohol, dreamed of becoming an astronaut. Once a week he did not go to school and stayed home and read books. When the truant back, school officials sent him to a psychologist to figure out the reasons for violations of the school regime. At the reception, the psychologist had a very difficult conversation, in the end she asked the guy how many books he read in the last month. When he mentioned the figure 27, the woman accused the teenager of lying. In the end, after the end of the conversation he was forced to sit and write a long explanation about his misbehavior.
